Hello from U.S. hardiness zone 6.
I am interested in Salvia and Artemisia species with documented or possible medicinal or spiritual application and the same for Lamiaceae and Asteraceae families overall.
Right now, I am about to pot several Salvia seedlings including S. absconditiflora (=cryptantha), amplexicaulis, recognita, verticillata, and yosgadensis. I’m attempting to germinate S. glutinosa, heldreighiana, potentillifolia, and tomentosa. I’m currently caring for full grown S. concolor, discolor, and elegans plants in pots and have S. azurea, lyrata, and reflexa in the ground.
I hope to hear from others growing Turkish and Central/South American Salvia species. I finally have a proper commercial greenhouse I will try keeping the plants in over the Winter this year (instead of my tent) and will put some of the Turkish ones in the ground next Spring in a rock garden.
Zone 6 in the U.S.
Thanks.

S. Glutinosa germinate s very easy
-
I've been looking for potentillifolia for some time
-
S. Glutinosa germinate s very easy
I’ve tried starting them in the past with very poor germ rates. Seeds were from Jelitto. How did you start yours?
-
I looked for potentifillolia at jellito but i didn't see those .
I put mine out doors in gall in large take out trays and by spring i have a lot of both. They need cold to germinate
-
Jelitto has S. glutinosa. I will stratify them this winter even tho their site says they start with no treatment.
-
Glutinosa feels like it could grow regardless to me . super easy and high metabolic rates . more than make up for its low potency im betting in the long run. Serious seed production in it as well .
Still. Germination rates are higher id bet with cold season stratification.
